Capitol Hill’s Harvard Market has taken a step into the future with the addition of three new electric car charging stations.
“We’re trying to make Harvard Market the transportation station for Capitol Hill,” Morris H. Groberman of MorGro Investments said, who oversees the shopping center. “With the street car coming in and the light rail, we wanted to be on the leading edge.”
The stations come from Blink out of San Francisco, and cost $60-70 thousand each to buy and install. Harvard Market features two different models—a fast charger on the rooftop level, and two wall charge units on the lower parking garage. The fast charging unit can charge an electric car fully in 30 minutes, and costs $1-2 per hour based on membership status.
